A Maryland woman has gotten a very unusual speeding ticket for driving a mere two miles under the speed limit on Interstate 95.

Local NBC affiliate News4 reports that the woman, who asked to keep her name anonymous, was driving 63 miles per hour in a 65-mph zone. Police say the reason they ticketed her was that she was driving in the left lane reserved for speedier commuters.

Of course, commuters who get annoyed by someone hogging the right lane might salute the move.

However, the woman noted the area was experiencing heavy winds at the time and she was only driving under the speed limit as a safety precaution. She also claimed to have never been ticketed before.

"Sometimes when it's dangerous, you have to do what you can to stay safe," she said.

She has one ally on her side: the local branch of AAA.

"The reason [the ticket] is silly is because it's sending the wrong message," said John Townsend of AAA Mid-Atlantic. "And that is, 'We will tolerate you driving at more than the speed limit, but it you drive below the speed limit, then you're penalized for that.'"

HOORAY! Why don't Missouri cops do the same! PLEASE PULL ALL THESE SLOW BITCHES OVER! PLEASE! It's the ****ing LAW! So get the hell outta my way I got some speeding to do you stupid slow sorry ass BITCHES!

You don't own the road. I don't give a shit how you drive, just do it in the right lane. Yeah, that big thing in your rearview mirror....it's a vehicle. The other 20 things in your rearview mirror....they are 20 other vehicles that your STUPID ASS IS HOLDING UP IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC! Why are you such a ****ing MORON!

Uh, wanting to drive the speed limit in the fast lane isn't illegal or outrageous. I watch oblivious/disengaged drivers cause so many dangerous situations, far worse than driving a reasonable amount above the speed limit while paying attention... clusters of cars playing leap frog while all driving within 1mph of each other... cars that actually slow down to pass semis. Freakin' morons, can't even get out of the way of each other, much less those who know how to drive efficiently.

No offense but I figure my wife is far nicer than anyone on cp and Ol blue would've drove through the front of your home and killed your dog upon delivery.
Seriously, I see old people down here driving down the wrong side of the road almost weekly. You can barely see them slumped down in their seat, pushed up against the wheel and white knuckled. ridin dirty.

hahahaha
this reminds me of my days living in on Chipman Rd. I'd have to drive by the Unity Village old folks home every day. man oh man, they just....wow. they're like....I'm old....and I'm pulling out!

makes me wonder how in the hell they have a drivers license in the first place.

I think when you see someone drive stupid you should be able to shoot their car with a "stupid" flag that sticks to the car. After three "stupid" flags the car gets pulled over by the cops and the person gets a ticket for being "stupid".

That's funny, I grew up close to Unity and thought "what if everyone drove like this" Then I moved to Florida.

During a long road trip with my wife a while back, we discussed the idea of a rep system for driving. Someone's nice and lets you merge in? Rep. Someone cuts you off like an idiot? Neg rep. People below a certain number of points get a ticket.

She should go to court and fight the ticket. It will be thrown out and the cop will look like a moron.

I doubt it. The headline makes it sound like she got a ticket for her speed, but in most states, the law she violated was using the left lane as a driving lane rather than a passing lane. Assuming that's the case here, the ticket is fine - the reporting is the shoddy part.
